Abstract
The current knowledge on extrinsic and intrinsic point defects in CdTe and Cd1-xZnxTe as obtained by electron paramagnetic resonance and rel ated techniques is reviewed. Special attention will be paid to the pro perties of intrinsic defects such as vacancies (V-Cd and V-Te) and com plexes formed with dopants (A centres: V-Cd-donor, and donor-V-Cd-dono r complexes). In view of the high resistive material required for X- a nd gamma-ray detector applications such defects seem to play an import ant role.
